Big question -

WTF MARVEL/FEIGE???WTF??????

And will the righteous ire of the Stephen Strange fandom be enough to change the ridiculous course that you have him on?

WTF Marvel/Feige??????

First, you gave his sequel to the antagonist while reducing Stephen to being lovesick rather than the strong freaking TITULAR character of his own supposed movie.

Then you completely reverse his character development from What If...? Season 1, turning him into exactly what MoM Reed Richards told 616 Stephen that he was.

It appears the only correct treatment & love and FREAKING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF STEPHEN AS THE TRUE HERO THAT SUFFERED 1,500+ YEARS MISERY IN ORDER TO RESTORE THE 616 UNIVERSE IS GOING TO COME FROM...

not the mcu fandom being 100% predictable and bashing peggy carter the second she's on their screens again 🙃🙃🙃

#watching what if is great because peggy stans stay winning #but then i inevitably have to see terrible takes about peggy on here #the newest episode JUST dropped and they're already bashing the hell out of her because of the whole bucky/winter soldier thing #an astounding amount of assholes being like “oh of course she recognized him and didn't do anything bc she brought hydra into shield”#and other terrible takes #whatever #as i said #peggy carter #we stay winning #what if...?#what if...? season 2 #what if...? spoilers

I love Peggy, I really do, and it's not that I mind Steggy per se, but that was literally 'what if the characters in CATWS were straight?'

Which basically means they're saying CATWS was a gay love story and I'm here for it

Convinced at this point that the 14 million timelines thing was just bullshit Dr. Strange came up with to make sure Tony specifically ends up in the grave because of their argument earlier and he's just THAT petty

Anyone else watch the new What If...? episode tonight? 1602 Tony is hilarious! He's adorable. I love him. He needs to meet other Tonys and build amazing machines.

Tony: Ooh, wait. Active what now? God I love your made up words. I need more of this.

Captain Carter: Flux capacitor.

Tony: Haha! Yes!

...

Tony: Again with the beautiful gibberish. Keep talking. It's like opium to my ears.

so thinking about wanda in dr. strange in the multiverse of madness vs. dr. strange in what if...? and how, yes, she was very wrong to try and absorb america's powers and kill her, and yes, she was wrong to be going to such lengths to do so, but comparatively an uncorrupted steven strange, when christine died:

1) tried to go back in time multiple, multiple times to try and prevent her death and failed every time because her death was a fixed point for their universe (not bad)

2) absorbed the powers of multiple beings across multiple dimensions to the point of killing them (yes, monsters, but still, comparisons here)

3) was told if he used these powers to go save christine he would destroy the universe because her death was a fixed point and did so anyway, resulting in

4) the disintegration of his entire universe, including christine, who he had just saved, leaving him alone in a pocket dimension universe.

comparatively, a corrupted wanda wanting to absorb the power of one person so that she could go into a parallel universe (maybe kill the version of herself there, she hadn't thought about that yet) to live her best life actually does, uh, sound reasonable.

(she's still super wrong. i'm not saying she's right. just if we're going to compare the two, should maybe compare the versions in relatively similar situations. and that strange got redeemed by the end of what if...? so i can hope for the same for wanda.)

When I watched the new What If episode with Peggy & Nat I immediately thought of you, your art, and what your reaction would be. Especially since it was kind of a retelling of Captain America & The Winter Soldier.

What are your thoughts on the episode?

Seeing as you asked, I WILL TELL YOU MY MANY THOUGHTS. WITH PICTURES.

under the cut for length lol

First of all, as usual the animation, particularly the lighting, was incredible. Also the effects! The explosions, smoke, everything. Always blows me away how much effort and love these animators put in to What If.

I love that it's Winter Soldier based because by god do I love that movie - but I also love that it's so very different to my AU cos that means I can keep going with it lol.

Okay here we go with the highlights - Blatant flirting and showing off:

This???:

Just how in sync they were with every fight scene - even in the Battle of New York when they had only known each other for a few hours.

HEY LOVELY. LOVELY:

Angst. And how soft Nat is here:

"Hey, Peg. I got you."

Natasha's inability to sit in a chair properly:

Peggy making a star wars reference and Nat calling her out on it like .. Nat you RECOGNIZED the reference you're a nerd too

"You know I always wondered how you got all those GI Boys to follow a woman into war: question answered." ie. "I'm so into you right now":

This Natasha stabbed Dreykov to death with a corkscrew and I love her for it.

Natasha instinctively putting herself in between Peggy and Steve even though they're both twice her size

I've already mentioned but, the choice to focus on Natasha's face in this scene:

Nat's face here:

Natasha only getting taken down by the robots because her gay-Peggy-focused-ass gets distracted when Peggy runs off to protect Steve: (I'll come back to this point later as a negative)

MELINA.

Was anyone else looking to see if Yelena was there

"Let's unpack that later, shall we?"

"I don't know whether to kiss you, kill you, or dissect you." "Let me guess, all three?"

I bet the Captain Carter film was baby Nat's gay awakening lol:

Melina's glorious slo-mo "grandma, it's me, anastasia" coat drop:

Peggy running to save Nat T_T

These shots:

Nat wearing the same outfit from Winter Soldier:

Natasha "too-loyal-and-infatuated-for-her-own-good" Romanoff going along with Peggy again to look for Steve without even being asked. (in stark contrast to the end of Winter Soldier when Natasha did not go with Steve to look for Bucky, I might add)

New reaction image:

Peggy and Nat calling and reaching out to each other when the portal opens and ALMOST making it - then Natasha punching the ground in desperation T_T

These two look SO COOL and I can't wait for the 1602 episode.

Negative points:

Rehashing Ste/ggy all over again - we already HAD that and it was endgame, why do it again?

As much as I adore Natasha's intense loyalty, it's very one sided in this episode and I'm wondering if that's intentional. Peggy is hyperfocused on Steve and leaves Nat behind to run after him multiple times, even though he is in an entire suit of armor and is FINE and Natasha is the one actually getting injured. Then she's leaving at the end without saying goodbye to go find Steve again (despite there being no reason to think he's alive? he EXPLODED??) even though Natasha just went through a trauma too and shouldn't be abandoned. Kinda feels like Peggy is taking Natasha's always being there for granted and I really hope it's addressed in following episodes (though I doubt it will be - it'll just be Steve focused again -_- )

Okay I think I'm done. This was a LOT I'm not sorry I've been waiting for more content for SO LONG I can't wait for the rest of the episodes to rip my heart out and stomp on it :3

Okay, WHAT IF (hehe) in this timeline it's Bucky who finds Steve's plane in the Arctic because he's determined to give him a proper burial, he spends years getting enough support together for expeditions to the general location his plane likely went down.
